My first exposure to veggie dips was not until high school. I started attending friends parties where they served bite-sized vegetables and a big tub of ranch dressing. Back then, I thought “Wow, vegetables taste great with a thick and creamy dip”. I always served myself with more dipping sauce than vegetables. It’s not a […]

venturing out to a new-to-us beach in Newport area and so happy that it was very toddler friendly. There were no waves and it had a very cool lighthouse and nautical themed playground a few steps away from the beach showering my friend Amy and baby London Elise with love at her baby […]
I set out all the things I needed for the race the night before. Fairy tutus. Check. I filled my hydration belt with water. Ipod fully charged. My wake-up call the morning of the race was 4am. We had to be at the starting line and at our corral at 4:30am. I live close […]
I love bite size food and really loved it when desserts come in mini size. I just love the thought of being able to take a bite and savoring it, without the guilt of not finishing it when the portions are too big. They say the best bite is the first one. I first discovered […]
I’ve always set aside time during the week to prep food ahead of time. This just makes my week less stressful and keeps my sanity. I do this most weeks, all year. But while on Whole30, planning ahead becomes very necessary (it was mandatory for me) in order to stay compliant throughout the week. I […]
I haven’t done Wordless Wednesday for awhile so I thought this week would be a good week to do one because I have been itching to travel again. When I do Wordless Wednesday, it’s not technically wordless but more towards a post loaded with pictures 🙂 The heat wave that we had this week is […]
Because there are no words to describe the beauty of this place, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Pearl Farm was the most secluded island we stayed in during our honeymoon. It felt like a private beach playground. Watching the sunrise. Happy Friday!!
Happy Monday everyone 🙂 I am determined to make this week a great one and a productive one. I read that if you put your intentions out there, you are more likely to follow thru 🙂 We shall see. The cravings for vegetables continues. A whole lot of butternut squash, carrots, zucchinis and onions. These […]
– It is still unusually warm in Southern California, it’s supposed to be 90 degrees this weekend. I hope our Halloween candies don’t melt. Because of the weather, we have been going to pumpkin patches in our sandals, shorts and linen shirts. At least we have stopped using the A/C at night and […]
